New Goals for September

I need to restart my life. Most depressed people may either try to "restart" through an overdose and rebirth, or medicate themselves so that they no longer feel the urge. I think I'll do it completely sober, and attempt to be as non-suicidal as possible.

First, I need to identify to aspects of my life that I am not pleased with.
  1. I waste a lot of time watching movies.
  2. I waste a lot of time playing video games.
  3. I don't write enough. I think my creative juices have gone stagnant, and that is a miserable feeling, my friend.
  4. I don't create the web projects that I have lined up. I just let them sit there, all lined up and waiting to be worked on.
  5. I don't have enough users signed up for the Google Hacks X Toolbar
  6. I don't have LabRat completed. (An enormous project!)
  7. I don't know how to play the piano.
Now, I need to set some goals that will eliminate these "problem places", and set me on the path that I really want to be.

Goals for September, 2008
  1. Absolutely no video games. This may make me either go insane, or get my creative juices flowing again. Hopefully, I know what I'm doing.
  2. Either write 1000 words, work on a web project, or work on LabRat.
  3. Upload new entries to the Shady Library.
  4. Do not watch any movies until BOTH 2 and 3 have been completed for the day.
That should take care of a lot of it, maybe sometime I'll squeeze in learning the piano.

A day in the life of Criss Angel

I was making my daily rounds of a bunch illegal downloading sites, when I came across this jewel. Apparently, Criss Angel has a TV show (duh), and does some crazy magic stuff every episode (double duh). That aside, try to read this episode synopsis like you were reading this out of a newspaper.

Criss attempts to catch a razor sharp arrow in his bare hands after it is shot from a nail gun at 1400 feet per second. Then, while on a tour of a warehouse, Criss cuts through a fans arm with a jigsaw blade. At a park, Criss’ crew is late for a football game and so he makes 2 players appear from thin air and then makes a football levitate during a perfect pass.

That is just insane. Pretend that this is not an optical illusions performer, but rather an ordinary citizen. So this freaked out dude gets shot at by an arrow, and catches it in his hand. "Yeah, I'm awesome." Then he's walkin' in some squatter's warehouse, and hacks off a buddy's hand with an electrical reciprocating saw. "Uh, oops. Sorry bro." Oh no! He's late for a football game with his homies, they're 3rd and 10 and down by 7! With a pikachu-like swish of his hand, he makes some extra teammates materialize and floats the football serenely to the wide-receiver with his yoda-jedi mind powers. "WTF! I'm h4xing the server! N00b$!! HAHAHHAAHA!"

Man, it all sounds like Criss is the ultimate shorthand-for-Richard. If you don't know the shorthand for Richard, I guess you aren't going to the H-E-double-hockey sticks.

French Kissing, CENSORED

I went in and hacked my article on french kissing. I took out all the really "good" bits, and now it is but a shadow of its former glory. I still think it's smashing great, but I am a little miffed that I couldn't say the S-word, even though it was absolutely necessary for the perfect story.

I now know why comedians like using foul language. It has a sort a shock value that can be expressed in a very few number of words. Hopefully, I will be able to express myself powerfully without needing to rely on those naughty words. Apparently, I won't get published, otherwise.

Here's the letter from Triond, accepting my revised work (YAY!), and check out the article at http://www.purpleslinky.com/Offbeat/Seven-Things-I-Never-Knew-About-French-Kissing.192305

Shady Library Videos

A few days ago I posted five tutorial videos to both Youtube and Revver. These are the first videos that cover the Shady Library, and how the passwords are stored on the Google Hacks X Toolbar. I guess that the Shady Library project is officially open!

Just today, The first day of August, I put up two books by Tom Clancy. The Hunt for Red October, and Patriot Games have been added to the Shady Library. Hip, hip, hooray!

Now, on to Arthur C. Clarke. I have a couple dozen of his books, and should put them up over the course of the weekend.

Happy Friday, everyone.
